On the program this week we discuss the Australian Constitution’s current silence on the history, status and rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the fact that it still contains a number of racist provisions. You’ll hear Jacqueline Phillips, the National Director of Antar, talk about moves to change the constitution.
We also hear from doctoral candidate Jasmine-Kim Westendorf who researches peace processes in civil wars. She describes how women in the Solomon Islands have been systematically excluded from decision-making processes of the peace agreement and subsequent reconstruction efforts. What Australia is doing to include women in peace and security processes is also discussed.

Occupy Onwards
Producer: Elanor McInerney
Broadcast: Friday 20 January 2012 |
In December 2011 I was in New York for Occupy Wall Street's three-month anniversary. Facing a winter of discontent, activists and thinkers gathered at The New School for Occupy Onwards - a conference on policy, money, history, and strategy organised by Occupy! Gazette, n+1 Magazine, and Verso Books.
This week we hear from longtime grassroots activist L.A. Kaufman (Global Justice Movement), and two feminist academics from The New School, Assistant Professor of Philosophy Cinzia Arruzza, and Director of Gender Studies Ann Snitow, who all took part in the Occupy Onwards panel, 'Lessons from the Past/Possible Futures'. They discuss direct action and movement building, feminism in the OWS movement, and historical parallels with the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp.
